att pre 3 activation issues...

Hi,
Ok, today I decided to pull the trigger, and transition off my Sprint FrankenPre2 onto a brand new ATT Pre 3.

I left the box at home, brought the Pre3 to work, then when I tried to turn it on it showed no sim card... Sure enough, I opened it up, no SIM inside. Being a Palm freak, I had my ATT Touchpad with me, with an unactivated SIM.

I put it in, turned it on, tried to go through the initial set up. It asks for my Palm Profile, I try to use my existing one, then it seems like it wants to use the cell to connect, which doesn't work.

Is the issue the Touchpad SIM card? I went to ATT's website, and tried to activate online, but the page requires order id, etc.

Edit: I believe there is a way to use WiFi, but it's beyond my pay grade so I'll let others tell you.

If I am correct, you can't activate by WiFi, you need an active SIM. I brought mine to a nearby at&t store and they set everything up in a matter of minutes (including 4G). You'll have to contact at&t one way or the other if you want 4G, so I'd recommend just heading to the nearest at&t store.
